@leva_levchenko @raykhrud Единственное бельгийское пиво, кстати, которого сами бельгийцы избегают. Его варится огромное количество, и практически всё до последней капли идёт на экспорт.

Email from prospective PhD student. I’ve been strongly recommended to apply for a position in your research group as I want to work on Smart Grids… Only, I don’t work in Smart Grids… 🤦‍♂️

I figured it out by year 3, but it didn't work so I had to rewrite it with a different title in year 5...

Attending @ioctaptceb's guest lecture at @UiB on TC39, JavaScript and related topics. One of the nice sides of everyone working remotely!

Ещё, раз речь зашла: двадцать лет не могу себя заставить использовать подписи в электронной переписке, поскольку это уже и двадцать лет назад выглядело страшным атавизмом.

@CoolSWEng @MrHritik I've switched to JetBrains Mono last year, for all IDEs as well as for slides, and quite content with the outcome. Not sure it would've solved this particular case, though...

@MrHritik I'm open to suggestions. I've been using Lucida Console for many years, but I accept there may be better alternatives.

This almost drove me crazy. Can you identify the syntax error on line 146?

@HeptaSean @richpaige Yes, I've been advocating Python as the 1st language too since at least 2002! But then again, my first language was strongly typed (Pascal), so everything about me is wrong. And C also gets formatted structurally anyway, only it's harder to parse (and C++ is almost impossible).

Greg Michaelson's talk at #prog21 started with interesting contemplations of where programming paradigms came from and how to teach them, and quickly deteriorated to the author bashing Python and Haskell as being "horrible" and "unrealistic". Puzzling.

@richpaige It started with "teach concepts, not language" and "choose language close to your heart" (which I can get behind). The author seemed to be a firm believer that C and Asm are the only languages representative of real life and thus the only choices to teach computational thinking.

@grammarware Is there discussion of what is realistic? Obviously COBOL, but what else?

#CoCoDo/#prog21 speaker: "@llvmorg has an optimiser phase because we are humans and we do not write well-optimised code!" My inner voice: "writing non-optimised code? speak for yourself!" My students' code in the background:

Today is the start of @programmingconf, and even more importantly, the day of #CoCoDo! I didn't travel anywhere and didn't get to meet anyone in person, but at least I received a conference-style breakfast:
